I onced researched as to why women should not wear Tefillin and I posted
many of them on Avodah [I believe I found 17 sources all who disagreed with
each other was to precisely why --smile--]
The Aruch Hashulchan stated that Tefilllin should be worn for the absolute
minimum time

   1. Ergo for women not at all
   2. For men only for Shema/Amidah

I even suggested this would explain an old yekke custom of putting on
Tefillin just before Baruch she'amar instead of before Birchos Hashachar

But then again why not take off tefilin right after tachanun?
See MB for possible connection to the phrase "shemnishmor chukehca" at the
end of uva letzion
